The best way to enable sharing between different user accounts is to use 
the "proxies" option in the admin tool. That avoids having to mess with 
ACLs at all. Just set things up so anyone who needs access to a user 
account is made a proxy (either read-only or read-write) of that user. e.g. 
in the admin tool:

./runshell.py ...
> proxies -i -p /principals/users/user01
Proxy > add -r
New principal [q - quit]: /principals/users/user02

That will add user02 as a read-only proxy to user01.
